The Group Residency has been devised by The Museum of Loss and Renewal with invited partner, artist and academic Danica Maier around the relationships of ‘Air, Sea and Soil’, encompassing the Orkney Islands’ remarkable natural environment. Residents will be welcomed to the historic Birsay area, where the bespoke programme will take place in the excellent accommodation and studio facilities of The Pier Arts Centre’s Linkshouse, and through accredited-guide visits to Neolithic Orkney’s World Heritage Sites. Expert introductions to land and spectacular wildlife will be provided by The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds’ (RSPB) ‘Species on the Edge’ Project, paired with an artist’s talk.
